AARON LINES – It Takes A Man

She locked her fingers
Bowed her head
She said I’m late
And I’m really scared
You can go
But I hope you stay
I’m gonna keep it
Either way
In my daddy’s El Camino
In her driveway in the rain
Staring through the windshield
I can see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
It takes a man to raise a child

Laid my head
Down on the wheel
She said I know, I know
It don’t seem real
She closed her eyes
But the tears broke though
She said don’t hate me
For loving you

In my daddy’s El Camino
In her driveway in the rain
Staring through the windshield
I can see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
It takes a man to raise a child

I could not reassure her
Couldn’t say what I had planned
Couldn’t put three words together
So I just took her hand

In my daddy’s El Camino
In her driveway in the rain
Staring through the windshield
I can see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
It takes a man to raise a child

AARON LINES – Just Drunk Enough

I knew it would happen someday
But I never thought that it’d be tonight
Then you walked into the bar
With your new Mr.Right

With that big ol’chip on my shoulder
And Johnny Walker making me see red
I decided I’d walk right on over
And pour him a beer, on his head

[Chorus]
And I know I’ll regret this tomorrow
It’s just another cross that I’ll have to bear
I’m Sober enough to know better
But I’m just drunk enough not to care

I know it’s not my proudest moment
But when he swung at my face and just missed
I decided there and then I’d introduce his chin
To my right fist

Then I tipped my hat to my ex-girlfriend
Said “Darlin’ you should look nice
For a low down cheatin’ dead beatin’
Cold hearted witch, ruin my life

[Chorus]
And I know I’ll regret this tomorrow
It’s just another cross that I’ll have to bear
I’m Sober enough to know better
But I’m just drunk enough not to care

Yeah I know I’ll regret this tomorrow
Cause Mr. Right’s finally coming up for air
I’m Sober enough to know better
But I’m just drunk enough not to care

I know I’ll regret this tomorrow
Instead of leavin’ I sat back in my chair
I’m Sober enough to know better
But I’m just drunk enough not to care

AARON LINES – Knock On Wood

Never been the kind of guy who walks around ladders
And I open up umbrellas when I’m inside
Well, black cats that crossed my path, they never mattered
But I’ve never had this much at stake
Don’t want to lose her by tempting fate

So I’m gonna knock on wood
Salt over my shoulder
Do anything to keep her love
Cause it feels so good every time I hold her
Like I always dreamed it would
I think this could be forever
The two of us together – knock on wood

Well, it’s been two weeks and everything is coming up aces
But I’ve seen my luck come, and I’ve seen it go
And for the first time in my life, I’m not hesitating
I knew after just one dance, I wasn’t leaving this up to chance

I’m gonna knock on wood
Salt over my shoulder
Do anything to keep her love
Cause it feels so good every time I hold her
Like I always dreamed it would
I think this could be forever
The two of us together – knock on wood, yeah

Well, I’ve got my rabbit’s foot around my neck
That old wishing well’s got half my paycheck
Got a bag of four-leaf clovers
Anything to be her lover

Knock on wood
Knock on wood

I’m gonna knock on wood
Salt over my shoulder
Do anything to keep her love
Cause it feels so good every time I hold her
Like I always dreamed it would
I think this could be forever
The two of us together
I think this could be forever
The two of us together
Knock on wood

Knock on wood

AARON LINES – I Will Be There

I don’t need no sign, don’t need no map
Baby, I know right where I’m at with you
I never thought there’d be a time
But when I felt your hand in mine, I knew
So if you’re thinking this is something that
Feels so good, it could never last
Let me take that worry from your mind, and I’ll tell you

I, I will be there
Like heaven, earth, and water, baby
I wanna breathe the same air
The same air that I know you’re breathing, honey
Every morning, noon, and night you’ll see
That I’ll never be that far out of your reach
I will be there

I must admit I’m new at this
But you’ve got something I can’t resist somehow
Like a horseshoe magnet and a paper clip
Baby, I’m drawn right to your lips right now
So if you’re thinking I could walk away
Baby, I’m afraid it’s a little late
I’ve already crossed the promise line

I, I will be there
Like heaven, earth, and water, baby
I wanna breathe the same air
The same air that I know you’re breathing, honey
Every morning, noon, and night you’ll see
That I’ll never be that far out of your reach
I will be there

So if you’re thinking this is something that
Feels so good, it could never last
Let me take that worry from your mind, and I’ll tell you

I, I will be there
I, I will be there, I swear

AARON LINES – If I Could Do It All Again

If I could do it all again
I’d look more in the mirror
Instead of finding someone else to blame
If I could do it all again
I’d do a lot more praying
Less cussing ’bout the things that I can’t change
I’d laugh a little louder
Sing more in the shower
Care a little less if I’m in tune
Concentrate on who I am not who I might have been
If I could do it all again

If I could do it all again
I’d take it a little slower
Make a few more memories I could keep
I’d crawl in bed beside my wife and just lay down and watch her
Soaking up her beauty while she sleeps

I’d work less hours
I’d buy her more flowers
Make more love on rainy afternoons
Overlook my little faults and not my little sins
If I could do it all again

I’d walk a little taller
Talk a little smaller
Love the way my maker meant me to
I might make less money but I’d make a better friend
If I could do it all again
If I could do it all again

AARON LINES – It Broke Off

When I was a kid I had it made in the shade
Couple girlfriends and a Chevrolet
Oh how I long for those days
When all I needed was a couple of bucks
Just enough to put some gas in my truck
Buy a six pack of beer and get a weird haircut

[Chorus]
Well I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off
Well I used to have it all figured out
But now I’m lost
It used to be clear to me
Now everything looks so blurry
I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off

Well I grew up so they say
Got a real job and and IRA
A mortgage on this house
I can barely pay
A blackberry and a cellphone
I spend more time at work
Then I do at home
Somebody please tell me where I went wrong

[Chorus]
Well I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off
Well I used to have it all figured out
But now I’m lost
It used to be clear to me
Now everything looks so blurry
I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off

I know nothing stays the same
But I feel like I’m dancing
Way too close to the flame

[Chorus]
Well I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off
Well I used to have it all figured out
But now I’m lost
It used to be clear to me
Now everything looks so blurry
I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off

Yeah I used to have a handle on life
But it broke off

AARON LINES – I Can Read Your Heart

Well, I don’t claim to know everything
But some things aren’t hard to figure out
I can tell your love for me has been fading
And I know what you want to talk about

Cause I can read your heart
It wants to say goodbye
I can read your heart like an open book
It’s written in your arms
They no longer hold me tight
And what you’re about to say is tearing me apart
So don’t start, baby, I can read your heart

I felt it skip a beat on the night we met
Moving cautiously at first, then letting go
Yeah, with each passing day, I turn another page
So there ain’t much I don’t already know

Cause I can read your heart
It wants to say goodbye
I can read your heart like an open book
It’s written in your arms
They no longer hold me tight
And what you’re about to say is tearing me apart
So don’t start, baby, I can read your heart

Well, I knew this day was coming
It was there between the lines
Still I was hoping maybe I could change your mind
But that’s not gonna happen
No way upon this earth
So just kiss me on last time, but don’t say a word

Cause I can read your heart
It wants to say goodbye
I can read your heart like an open book
It’s written in your arms
They no longer hold me tight
And what you’re about to say is tearing me apart
So don’t start, baby, I can read your heart

So don’t start, baby, I can read your heart
I can read your heart

AARON LINES – I Can't Live Without Your Love

Baby, how’d we wind up this far apart
Using words as weapons like daggers to our hearts
This standoff of indifference isn’t solving anything
But baby, I’ve been thinking ’bout what I stand to lose
I can live without being right, so if I have to choose

I can’t live without your love
I can’t live without your touch
The pride I stand to gain isn’t worth the pain
I can’t face another day
And I don’t care who’s to blame
If this is what it takes, I’ll be the one to break
I’m not giving up
I can’t live without your…

Footsteps down the hallway, the strength you have within
How much you say in silence, yeah, your breath upon my skin
Don’t know who I am without you
Just like the very air I breathe

I can’t live without your love
I can’t live without your touch
The pride I stand to gain isn’t worth the pain
I can’t face another day
And I don’t care who’s to blame
If this is what it takes, I’ll be the one to break
I’m not giving up
Cause I can’t live without your love

As we sit here in the quiet, there’s a pounding in my head
I feel the weight of a thousand angry words between us
The bitter things we said
So I’m reaching out to you tonight
Yeah, I don’t care who’s wrong and baby, I don’t care who’s right
We’ve come too far to let this slip away now
I’m asking you, I’m telling you
I’m begging you

I can’t live without your love
I can’t live without your touch
The pride I stand to gain isn’t worth the pain
I can’t face another day
And I don’t care who’s to blame
If this is what it takes, I’ll be the one to break
I’m not giving up

I can’t live without your love
I can’t live without your touch
The pride I stand to gain isn’t worth the pain
Can’t face another day
And I don’t care who’s to blame
If this is what it takes, I’ll be the one to break
I’m not giving up
I can’t live without your love

I can’t live without your love
I need you, baby

AARON LINES – I Wanna Be That Man

Baby, when you smile at me
I know that you’re all I’ll ever need
You’re my favorite song to sing
You’re my raincoat when it rains
With all my heart and soul
I want you to know

I wanna be the man who zips your dress, that holds your hand
That’s there when you wake up in the night
I wanna be the one to kiss you ’til you come undone
That makes you laugh when you wanna cry
And puts a ring on your left hand
I wanna be that man

When I look into your eyes
I know that’s where I wanna spend my life, the rest of my life
You’re my lazy Sunday afternoon
My crazy New Year’s Eve, my parachute

And I love your innocence
I wouldn’t change anything about you

I wanna be the man who zips your dress, that holds your hand
That’s there when you wake up in the night
I wanna be the one to kiss you ’til you come undone
That makes you laugh when you wanna cry
And puts a ring on your left hand
I wanna be that man

I wanna be the man who zips your dress, that holds your hand
That’s there when you wake up in the night
I wanna be the one to kiss you ’til you come undone
That makes you laugh when you wanna cry
And puts a ring on your left hand
I wanna be that man

AARON LINES – Dance To The Radio

Your daddy wouldn’t like it if he knew what
I was thinking right now
But the way you look this evening girl it’s hard to keep
Your feet on the ground
It’s raining outside
Let’s start a fire
Baby I say we just stay in tonight
ooh ooh ooh
Turn up the music loud and turn the lights real low
ooh ooh ooh
There’s no one else around
Let’s lay down and dance to the radio
It’s almost like the DJ’s playing every song especially for us

And it takes me back to that summer night when you and me
Learned everything about love
I just wanna hold
Your body close girl I don’t wanna ever let go

ooh ooh ooh
Turn up the music loud and turn the lights real low
ooh ooh ooh
There’s no one else around
Let’s lay down and dance to the radio
It’s almost like the DJ’s playing every song especially for us

I wanna feel your heart beat all night long
When you whisper in my ear, girl it’s sweeter than
My favorite song

ooh ooh ooh
There’s no one else around baby
ooh ooh ooh
Turn up the music loud and turn the lights real low
ooh ooh ooh
There’s no one else around
Let’s lay down and dance to the radio
Let’s dance to the radio

AARON LINES – Everyday Heroes

Jamie’s a highschool teacher
She wakes up every morning at the crack of dawn
And puts the coffee on
Gives her lectures, grades those papers
The Work ain’t done when the last one’s gone
She don’t do it for the paycheck
Anything at all would pay the bills
Even on days her life’s a train wreck
But she still loves those kids

[Chorus]
Thank God for the everyday heroes
For all you’ve done and for all you do
Thank God for the everyday heroes
It’s a better world because of you

Joe’s a highway worker
I saw him today when I drove by and the sun was hot
100 degrees on that blacktop sweatin’
He’s out there working just getting by
He breaks his back to keep his family fed
It’s all that matters much to him
Tomorrow morning he’ll roll out of bed
Do it all again

[Chorus]
Thank God for the everyday heroes
For all you’ve done and for all you do
Thank God for the everyday heroes
It’s a better world because of you

There ain’t no hall of fame
Probably never know your name
They’re everywhere around us
They’re stories all the same

So here’s to the cop that works the midnight beat
Here’s to the maid who cleans the hotel sheets
Here’s to the farmer harvestin’ the fields
Here’s to the trucking haulin’ 18 wheels
Here’s to the workers on the assembly line
The secretary, the firemen, and the men down in the mines
Here’s to everyone who does their part
I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart

[Chorus]
Thank God for the everyday heroes
For all you’ve done and for all you do
Thank God for the everyday heroes
It’s a better world because of you

[Chorus]
Thank God for the everyday heroes
For all you’ve done and for all you do
Thank God for the everyday heroes
It’s a better world because of you

AARON LINES – Good Liar

It was a pretty good performance
Yesterday out on the street
Maybe they should give me an Emmy or an Oscar
Cause you didn’t suspect a thing
We made small talk on the sidewalk
I even laughed out loud
And I didn’t blink an eye when I told you that I’m happy now
I’m a good liar
I had you believing
That I wasn’t dying watching you leaving
I’m good at pretending
I stood there unflinching
Baby with my heart on fire
Hey I’m a good liar

Truth is I’ve had a lot of practice
I’ve put on this show before
Just like the day you told me we were history
I was brilliant standing right outside your door
I convinced you and me too
It was gonna be all right
That we’d both be better off that I would get on with my life

I’m a good liar
I had you believing
That I wasn’t dying watching you leaving
I’m good at pretending
I stood there unflinching
Baby with my heart on fire
Hey I’m a good liar

It’s time I came clean
It’s time I told the truth
No matter what I say I’m still in love with you
Baby I’m still in love with you

Yeah

I’m a good liar
I had you believing
That I wasn’t dying watching you leaving
I’m good at pretending
I stood there unflinching
Baby with my heart on fire
Baby my heart’s on fire
Hey I’m a good liar
Yeah I’m a good liar

AARON LINES – A Kiss Is Worth A Thousand Words

She said, I dont even know you anymore
Were barely friends, we used to be lovers
I remember when I was all that you were living for
Now, were just living in this house like strangers
I tried to give to you everything I thought you ever wanted
To make this house a home
You still lay next to me, but all I feel is alone
How can I make you see

That a kiss is worth a thousand words
A thousand love songs and a thousand roses
Cant change the way I miss being reassured
When youd hold me close, look into my eyes and press your lips to mine
If you really wanna tell me that you love me
Want your feelings to be heard
A kiss is worth a thousand words

He just sat there on the couch looking surprised
He couldnt believe what he was hearing
It was like shed opened up his heart and reached inside
And told him everything that he was feeling
He said, I tried to give to you everything I thought you ever wanted
Been working day and night
I felt this distance too, but I never knew just what to say
To make it right

Till you said a kiss is worth a thousand words
A thousand love songs and a thousand roses
Cant change the way I miss being reassured
When youd hold me close, look into my eyes and press your lips to mine
If you really wanna tell me that you love me
Want your feelings to be heard
A kiss is worth a thousand words

In the middle of the night, they finally got it right
When they both closed their eyes and talked for hours
He told her that he loved her, that he couldnt live without her
But not a single heart was broken, not a single word was spoken

Ooh…yeah, just one kiss
One single kiss

Whoa, a kiss is worth a thousand words
A thousand love songs and a thousand roses
Cant change the way I miss being reassured
When youd hold me close, look into my eyes and press your lips to mind
If you really wanna tell me that you love me
Want your feelings to be heard

Yeah, if you really wanna tell someone you love em
Want your feelings to be heard
A kiss is worth a thousand words

AARON LINES – Cheaper To Keep Her

Your down on your luck.
You just lost your truck.
You cant afford another beer.
Your credit cards don’t work.
Whole world thinks you’re a jerk.
You wondering how you wound up here.

It wouldn’t been cheaper to keep her around
It wouldn’t been better to let her keep you down
Living with a crazy wife beats an empty bank account
It wouldn’t been cheaper to keep her around

Now your sleeping on the couch at your best friends house watching Colombo
Eating cold pizza in your underwear
Just remember I told ya so

It wouldn’t been cheaper to keep her around
It wouldn’t been better to let her keep you down
Living with a crazy wife beats an empty bank account
It woulda been cheaper to keep her around

So if you’re thinking about saying adios
Well, take it from the fool who knows
She’s gonna serve ya papers make ya pay through the nose and when her lawyer gets through with you you’ll have to move to Mexico.

It wouldn’t been cheaper to keep her around
It wouldn’t been better to let her keep you down
Living with a crazy wife beats living with an empty bank account

It woulda been cheaper to keep her around
It woulda been cheaper to keep her around

AARON LINES – Close

Ooh yeah..
Oh yeah..

Across the miles, it’s funny to me
How far away you are, but how near you seem to be
I could talk all night just to hear you breathe
Spend my life just living this dream
You’re all I’ll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I’m in your arms
I need you to know
I’ve never been
I’ve never been this close

With all the loves I used to know
I kept my distance, yeah, I never let go
But in your arms, I know I’m safe
Cause I’ve never been held and I’ve never been kissed in this way
Yeah, you’re all I’ll ever need
You’re all I’ll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I’m in your arms
I need you to know
I’ve never been, I’ve never been this
Close enough to see it’s true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say

And when I’m in your arms
Need you to know
I’ve never been
I’ve never been this close

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I’m in your arms
I need you to know
I’ve never been.. I’ve never been
Darling, I swear
I’ve never been.. I’ve never been this close
